Interventions

DEVICE

Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation

A surface electrode will be applied to the P6 acupoint on the dominant upper extremity, located approximately 3cm proximal to the distal wrist crease between the tendons of the flexor carpi radialis and the palmaris longus, and a negative surface electrode placed on the opposing dorsum aspect of the forearm.

DEVICE

Sham transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation

The same TEAS protocol will be applied unless silicone covers will be attached to both electrodes. The device will also be turned on during the procedure.

DRUG

Tropisetron

will be given at the start of skin closure
